The next quesition obviously in what makes a good person? What are we using to define what is good? Is it our appeal to our emotions or an appeal to divine revelation?
My response should have answered that for you. I said, we do not need a relationship with the Lord to be a good person, or do good things.
I did many good things before I knew God, and I did bad things.
Now that I know God, I still do good and bad things.
On one hand, we can say that God has nothing to do with it, since we all have the ability to choose, then on the other hand, we can say, if God created it all, then it is all His fault.
But no matter what, just about every decision we make in life, can be categorized as good or bad. It is one of the things that lead me to seek God. This whole good and bad deal.
